Tapest[o]ry: An Interactive Tapestry to Raise Awareness of Marine Noise Pollution

Through the years, the tapestry technique has been used for utilitarian purposes and to tell stories. In our artwork, we took inspiration from this ancient craft and the need to reconnect with our senses. This piece invites visitors to touch, feel, and listen. Tapest[o]ry is a living tapestry that listens and responds with a narrative representing the sea's natural “murmurs” and harmful anthropogenic sounds. The tapestry is turned into an interactive artwork by combining layers of wool, crochet, and felt intertwined with hidden conductive threads. Through storytelling and audience interaction, Tapest[o]ry hopes to awaken empathy for the invisible chaos in our oceans and invite reflection on how we, too, are part of this delicate rhythm.
